" Chicken Fried " Fish Fingers

"I know fish is good for you, but I’m one of those people that don't care for the "fishy taste" that some fish seem to have. My SO convinced me to try different types of mild fish, so I decided to try orange roughy, and used my fried chicken recipe. This recipe is the great result. Actual prep time is 2 hours 10 minutes, (2 hours chill, 10 minutes actual prep). if you try this, be careful turning, as some of the coating might flake off, but it still just as good.

  1. I have to agree with OzMan that this is outstanding! The buttermilk makes the fish moist and flaky, and the breading seasonings are on-point. I prepared half of this recipe with lemon juice in the marinade and half without -- and I actually preferred the recipe without, as written. The buttermilk gives the fish all the tang and flavor it needs. Nice job, Chef shapeweaver!
     
  2. This fish was outstanding! I had to use cod as that is what I had on hand, and it came out delicious with no problems keeping the batter on the fish during frying. I paired this with some homemade fries for a quick easy dinner and was very pleased with the results. I may add some different spices next time to the mix for a a spicier version, but this was very good. THank you very much. :)
